2. Written, 3 TPE, GM stands for Great Man (150 words min.)

There have been some good and some bad GMs in SHL history. (Mostly bad) Pick a GM you think was outstanding and explain why you think they were one of the better GMs in SHL history. Point to trades/signings/trophy wins/locker rooms to support your claim.

6/16 TPE

In this case I will go on with my own GM duo in Texas. RCD and puoli have done a fantastic job so far in Texas. I can’t remember any trade they made, but to be honest, you don’t have to trade a lot if you draft as good as they do. And I only remember one free agent signing they made. But what they do great is the FHM things. Asking what people want to do with there players and try to find a way to get there together, as for now it paid out for them pretty well. Having now 2 champion chip banners under their belt. Looking at the actual team structure they may have a year or two time to get their hands a little bit into that trading thing that is going on in sim leagues to stay at the top for some more years. Thank you boys for all. 155 words

Code:
6. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. What is worth more to you, a cup win in the FHM era or the STHS era?

b. Be honest, would we have seen the same final 4 as last year (Chicago, Texas, Hamilton, Buffalo) had BUF/HAM and TEX/CHI not run into each other in the second round?

c. Hamilton has a population of roughly 5 people. Where would you relocate the franchise?

d. Who is the best player to NOT make the final in the past 2 years?

10/16 TPE

a. For the reason I never won a cup in the STHS era (2 game 7 losses in the finals) it’s very easy for me. FHM brought me my cups so it’s clear that I would say that the FHM cups are more worth, on the other hand STHS was more random and a cup win there wasn’t as predictable. 59 words
b. That’s for sure what would have happened again. Buffalo, Hamilton, Chicago and Texas have 4 great teams with GM’s that have good FHM skills. They haven’t been the highest TPE teams this year, but with management knowing what they are doing, they showed it once again. To be honest, we will likely see them again next year. 57 words
c. I have no idea how many people live in Hamilton, but I also really don’t care if it’s 5, 500, 5.000 or 5.000.000. Hamilton sucks anyway. So we better relocate them yesterday than tomorrow. To which city? I don’t care, I guess there are thousand of cities that are better than where they are now. ? 55 words
d. Wow that’s an easy one, thanks god only Hamilton and Texas made the finals in these years. Looking through the rosters and writing down names or going through the stats, we will find so many great players that stand out and didn’t make it to the finals. So, pointing out one would not be right in this situation. 58 words

13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.)

hahahahahaha remember this task from last season? The one where everyone was like "nah we're good, tampa and BAP will be in the finals soon and you'll see that the old guard will make way for the new young teams". Now that we have the exact same fucking teams in the final again, let me ask, is parity an issue in the SHL? How do we combat this?

13/16 TPE

Oh yes, this time you can believe me when I say we will not see another finale between Hamilton and Texas next season. Because nobody wants to see that for a 3rd time in a row beside the players from Hamilton and Texas. We are likely going to see the Baltimore Plattoons finally going all the way to the finals, just to face one out of Texas or Chicago or maybe with some luck Los Angeles. With the new regression rules the top teams will fall back a step and maybe have to take on step aside and let pass another team. But I am sure that the top 4 will not rest and try everything to stay where they are at the moment. I believe that we will see some trades or FA signings that secure their position once more. If they stay there next year again, it’s not their fault but we will be here again and complain about it. haha 163 words
